<h1>Formatting number values on a graph</h1>
<p>You can format the display of numbers on a graph. For example, you can 
 display the values along the Y-axis as currency, with two decimal places. 
 </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: The procedure below describes 
 how to display number values on a graph using the Format: Graph dialog 
 box. You can also format a graph using the Formatting toolbar, which is 
 accessible from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>View</B></span> menu: 
 point to <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Toolbars</B></span>, then select 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Formatting</B></span>. On the toolbar, click 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Data Values</B></span> <img src="images/datavalues.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="15px" height="15px" border="0" class="img_whs1">.</p>
